Mayweather Hatton Prediction. And the winner is....

Hold up wait a minute let me put some LUMP LUMP in it. What up What Up? Up ya What Up ya What? (know what movie that is from?). One more day till the big one baby. Your boy Larry is all pumped and lumped up for this one. So let me get straight to the point and let you know that Ricky Hatton is going to pull off a split decision on this one. Floyd should of lost against De LA Hoya, but for some reason Oscar let him off the hook and did not keep up the pressure in the late rounds. If you recall, after the first six Oscar was up on most cards. Ricky is not going to let that happen. He will bully, grapple, punch hard, and frustrate the crap out of Floyd. Hatton's lack of "boxing" skills will actually be his benefit. Mayweather will put up a great defense, do his usual pitter patter point scoring flurries, but I don't think it will be enough. If the judges go by who is the aggressor and who is bringing the fight, then Ricky Hatton can pull it off. What's going against Ricky? Well a lot. First of all the fight is in Vegas, Floyd's hometown, in regards, city, state, and country! Plus it is for Mayweather's title, so he is the champ, and I always believe in order to win a belt from a champ you need to "take" it from him. If you don't win in a convincing fashion you have not earned it. Of course lets not forget that Mayweather is a great fighter, he has not gotten to where he is because of all the crap he talks, he does back it up. Anyways as long as it doesn't turn into a 3 punch, clinch, 3 punch clinch, affair we should be in for a good one.

I should also mention the under card has an interesting one as well. Jeff Lacy vs. Peter Manfredo. Personally I think Manfredo is all hype, he is just getting these fights because of being on "The Contender" TV show. I think Lacy has way more skillz to pay the billz, but both are coming off surgery's. I still think Lacy should win.

Have a great weekend Lumpers and if you do watch the fight don't forget to DVR the Ultimate Fighter finale on Spike TV, that should be good too!

Some of these fights were in war-torn places like Ireland, Mexico & Vegas. Any riots, deaths or tear bomb attacks against local uprisings to report?
